Most travelers don’t realize how far apart these cities are — or how much domestic flights cost when booked independently. These tickets run $300–500 per person and require separate booking, check-in, and logistics.
In this tour, domestic flights are included in your price. We book them on your behalf. You don’t search, you don’t book, you don’t pay extra. You just show up.
That’s $600–1000 in flights per couple — already taken care of.

Much of J. R. R. Tolkien’s childhood was spent in Birmingham. Start at Sarehole Mill, near where Tolkien explored and was inspired by The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books. Stop in Rednal at Fern Cottage. Now a private residence, it was here that Tolkien lived with the postman after his mother’s death as he attended school. Pass by King Edward’s School, where Tolkien attended, on your way to a visit to Francis Asbury’s Home. Sent to America by Wesley, Asbury became the first elected bishop of the American Methodist Church. Head south to Warwick, where Edith Mary Bratt married Tolkien at St. Mary Immaculate Catholic Church. Finish the day in Oxford and enjoy dinner at the Trout Inn after checking into your hotel.

This morning, you will enjoy a walking tour of Oxford. Start with a walking tour of Merton College, where twice J. R. R, Tolkien was a professor. From here, just a few steps to visit Magdalen (pronounced “Maudlin”) College, where C. S. Lewis was a fellow for most of his academic career. Here, Jack worked through his beliefs from Atheism to Theism to Christianity, and became the prolific writer and apologist known today. Stop at University College, the oldest college in Oxford (1249). Jack received a scholarship to attend here in 1916, and after entering the Officers Training Corps, was later sent to France in World War I. Stop at Exeter College, where Tolkien studied before he also traveled to serve in World War I. Continue to Christ Church College and visit the dining hall where John Wesley and other alumni are honored on the walls. Walk around the exteriors of Pembroke College, where Tolkien first served as a professor after the Great War. Walk through the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin. Here, the Oxford Martyrs were tried for heresy, and John Wesley preached until his views were rejected. Walk through the Sheldonian Theater, where scholars have graduated or been granted honorary degrees since 1669. John and Charles Wesley, and C. S. Lewis were among the many famous people to have celebrated their degrees here. Included in the tour here is a visit to the Bodleian Library, the main research library for Oxford, with 12 million items. Spend the afternoon in the Ashmolean Museum, the world’s first university museum. The museum contains a vast and unique collection, ranging from pieces by Da Vinci and Picasso to a Stradivarius violin and Cromwell’s death mask. Return to your hotel for an overnight stay.

Travel up to Lady Margaret Hall and St. Hugh’s College. Here, Tolkien taught women (he was allowed since he was already married). Stop outside 20 Northmoor Drive, where Tolkien lived while writing The Hobbit and the first two Lord of the Rings books. You’ll visit Holy Trinity Church, the church Jack and Warren attended in life, and where they are buried in the graveyard here. The Narnia window in the church is of special interest. From here, travel to The Kilns, Lewis’s home. Built in 1922, the Lewis brothers moved into the home in 1930. This would remain Jack’s home until his death in 1963. Stop at the Eagle and Child Pub, where C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and other writers met on occasion as part of the “Inklings” club. This afternoon, depart Oxford in time for afternoon tea in a village in the Cotswolds, home to thatched-roofed cottages and shops. Finish your day in Bristol for dinner and overnight.

Continue to London for a driving tour. See Trafalgar Square, Parliament and Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, and other historic sights. Time permitting, attend evensong at St. Paul’s Cathedral, the masterpiece of architect Christopher Wren, built after the Great Fire of 1666. John Wesley often worshiped here. On the day of his conversion, Wesley came here for an afternoon service and was deeply moved by the choir’s anthem, “Out of the Deep Have I Called Unto Thee, O Lord.”

John and Charles Wesley left their marks on the town of London. You’ll have a lecture at City Road Chapel, the site of Wesley’s home and grave.

Walk on to Aldersgate Street, where on May 24, 1738, John Wesley had his “Warming of the Heart” experience. You will walk past the entrance of “Little Britain,” where Charles Wesley had his conversion experience just three days earlier. This afternoon, tour Westminster Abbey, begun by King Edward the Confessor in the 11th century. It is the traditional coronation place for British monarchs, and the royalty and famous people of England are buried or memorialized here. Across the street from the cathedral is the Methodist Central Hall. Still a church, it was an early site of the initial meetings of the United Nations.

Route Map
Why travel with FAVOR TRAVEL— not directly with a local company
Someone is on your side from the first call to the flight home
A local Turkish operator sells you an itinerary. FAVOR Travel walks with you from the first conversation to the moment you land back home. When a flight changes, a hotel shifts, or your group needs flexibility — we handle it. You don’t figure it out in a foreign country, alone.
Your guide knows the Bible — not just the ruins
We carefully select guides who bring Scripture to life on-site. When you stand in the Great Theatre at Ephesus and read Acts 19 — your guide opens the Word in the place where it happened. That’s a different experience entirely from a history lecture.
All domestic flights — booked, managed, and included
Flights are inside your tour price. You don’t search for them, you don’t book them separately, you don’t worry about check-in logistics. We handle it. That’s $600–1000 per couple already covered.
10+ years of faith-based travel
FAVOR Travel specializes in biblical and faith-based group tours. We understand how ministry works on the road, how church groups travel, and what matters most to believers making this pilgrimage.
Traveling as a church? We build the spiritual experience around you
The Seven Churches of Revelation is one of the most powerful itineraries a congregation can take together. Walking through Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamon, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea — every church letter in Revelation becomes personal, not historical.
For groups of 15 or more, we offer:
- Fully customized spiritual itinerary — worship, Scripture reading, and prayer at each site
- Dedicated devotional time on-site — designed around your pastor’s vision
- Best group pricing — the more people, the lower the per-person cost
- Flexible dates — we work around your church calendar
- For 20+ people: option to extend to 10–14 days and add more destinations
Your pastor leads the spiritual journey. We make sure everything else runs perfectly.

Later, take a typical harbor boat tour from Vittoriosa across the Grand Harbor to Valletta and see its waterfront. You will also see St. John’s Co-Cathedral and Museum in Valletta.

The relics of St. Clement rest in the Baroque altar in the side chapel of St. Lazarus, which is one of eleven side chapels within the Basilica. Next, visit the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of Ta’Pinu, Malta’s most important pilgrimage site.
